When you invest in a new roof, you’re not just paying for materials and labor—you’re paying for peace of mind. That peace of mind often comes in the form of a roof warranty. But what exactly does a warranty cover? How do you know if you’re protected? And what makes Scherger Roofing’s warranty offerings stand out?
Let’s break down the world of roof warranties in a way that makes sense—no confusing jargon, just straightforward facts that every homeowner should know.
Why Roof Warranties Matter
Roofs take a beating. From scorching summer heat to frigid winter snowstorms, they endure it all. Over time, wear and tear are inevitable. A good warranty ensures that if something goes wrong—whether it’s due to material defects or installation errors—you’re not left footing the entire bill.
A warranty isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s a promise that your investment is protected. It means that you can rest easy knowing that your roof isn’t just built to last—it’s backed by a company that stands behind its work.
Imagine waking up after a heavy windstorm, only to find a few shingles scattered in your yard. Without a warranty, you might be on your own. With one? Help is a phone call away, and your financial burden could be minimal. That’s the power of a well-structured warranty. It’s like having a safety net under your most important investment: your home.
Types of Roofing Warranties
Not all warranties are created equal. Here are the main types homeowners should know:
1. Manufacturer’s Warranty
This covers defects in the roofing materials themselves. For example, if your shingles begin to deteriorate prematurely due to a manufacturing flaw, the manufacturer may cover the cost of replacement materials. These warranties often range from 20 years to a lifetime, depending on the product.
2. Workmanship Warranty
Offered by the roofing contractor, this covers issues related to installation. Even the best materials won’t perform if they’re not installed correctly. A workmanship warranty ensures you’re covered if the problem lies in the craftsmanship. These typically last anywhere from 2 to 10 years, but Scherger Roofing offers extended options.
3. Extended or Enhanced Warranties
Some roofing companies offer enhanced warranties that combine material and labor coverage for longer periods. These often include additional perks like transferable coverage if you sell your home, making your property more attractive to potential buyers.
Think of extended warranties like an umbrella—they’re there to shield you from unexpected storms, figuratively and literally.

Common Misunderstandings About Warranties
Let’s clear up a few myths:
- Myth: All damage is covered. Truth: Most warranties don’t cover damage from extreme weather, neglect, or improper maintenance. Always read the details to understand what’s included.
- Myth: Warranties cover labor and materials equally. Truth: Many manufacturer warranties only cover materials. That’s why a workmanship warranty from your contractor is vital.
- Myth: Filing a claim is a hassle. Truth: With Scherger Roofing’s support, filing a warranty claim is a smooth, guided process. They handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on your home.
Understanding the limitations and benefits of your warranty helps you avoid disappointment and ensures you know exactly what to expect if a problem arises. Being informed is being empowered.
Real-Life Scenario: How a Warranty Saved the Day
Consider this: A family in Edmonton recently had a roof installed by Scherger Roofing. A year later, a windstorm damaged several shingles. Thanks to their comprehensive warranty, Scherger Roofing responded quickly, assessed the damage, and replaced the affected area at no extra cost. The family avoided a costly repair, and their home was protected again within hours.
Another homeowner shared how their Euroshield roof withstood a massive hailstorm with minimal damage, and the few affected areas were repaired under warranty without a hitch. These are not just stories—they’re testaments to the value of a strong warranty.
That’s the kind of peace of mind every homeowner deserves.
